Did you have all your LORs in already? I was just curious since I am interested in Mayo Rochester too.

Blade, did you end up touring the whole US?
I tried to divide up my trips by geographic region to cut down on costs. I did a West coast trip, an East coast trip, a Midwest trip and South trip.
I would like to do the same thing. Problem right now is with only two interviews offered out of 32 programs applied to, I cannot accept my current interviews without waiting for others to plan trips accordingly. Did others also wait? Will schools take offense if you make them wait for your interview acceptance? If yes, hopefully I won't have to wait much longer.
So maybe it's too early for this, but I'm starting to worry. I thought I was a solid candidate and applied to mostly competitive programs. I had a 255 on step 1, a mix of HP and honors on rotations (honors in surgery), research with 1 publication and 1 submitted abstract, and letters that should be good. However, my only interviews are from uconn, christiana and maine (which don't really fit the 7 year academic program I was looking for) and baylor, which I thought was a reach. Several of the places I applied have given out interviews (emory, dartmouth, unc,uva, carolinas) but I haven't heard anything from these places. Does this mean I won't be hearing from them? Did I overestimate how competitive I am? Anyone have any words of wisdom?
I wouldn't worry yet. When did you submit your app? Is your app complete?
I submitted on 9/4, was complete 9/17 except for transcript (which was submitted 9/29) and MSPE.
I wouldn't worry about it at all. You're app sounds far more competitive than mine, and I've gotten plenty of interviews. Your completion and transcript dates are probably just going to push you into the next round of interview offers for some programs.

...was hoping to get to Emory this year. Anyone know (Blade?) how they give out invites. Is it rolling or do they hand em' out in batches at certain dates?
